I watch Mock the Week a lot and I often find myself thinking naughty thoughts about Hugh Dennis and also Russell Howard
Please tell me i'm not alone!

Husband and I insult each other by saying "you're the Hugh" when one of us is sucking the fun out of a situation so YABU!

Elemental · 22/07/2011 20:49

I agree, he is lovely in Outnumbered too.

OscarLove · 22/07/2011 20:49

Ha ha ha! There is just something about him...mmm...must be the curls!!!

His ex wife recently sold a story in the papers saying just how completely stingey with cash and boring he is.

If it's any consolation, when I was about 12/13 I had the BIGGEST crush ever on his then comedy partner Steve Punt. I used to write fan letters to him telling him he was gorgeous and funny. He wrote back to me a few times and I still have a signed photo of him somewhere.

I was odd.

Fooffy · 22/07/2011 20:51

Hugh Dennis - weirdly yes.

Russell Howard - annoying precocious 7 year old.

TurkeyBurgerThing · 22/07/2011 21:03

I think Russell Howard would jizz too quickly. He'd be disappointing!

ByTheSea · 22/07/2011 21:05

YANBU - there is something about Hugh Dennis.

And I love Russell Howard - such a cute kid. So does DD-12.

turkey what a delicately phrased post Grin

I like that Chris Addison. I don't know why. Him and Mark Watson.

And Marcus Bridgstock.

nethunsreject · 22/07/2011 21:07

Chris Addison, yes. None of the rest of 'em though.

Fooffy · 22/07/2011 21:09

Nagini

I agree with Marcus Brigstock. He reminds me of DH.

What is it with Chris Addison? Skinny, transparent, freakishly hairy and yet.. I don't know, there's something.

orienteerer · 22/07/2011 21:09

YANBU, I saw him in a live version of Punt & Denis a few months ago in a very small venue which was great.

MavisGrind · 22/07/2011 21:11

turkey - Russell Howard would probably remark upon that too - "hey look (leap to side) I jizzed too quickly"

Hug Dennis however - would it be too weird to say that as he is a history teacher in Outnumbered it has may have crossed my mind that he'd be CRB checked and therefore acceptable around my children?

VirtualWitch · 22/07/2011 22:05

I'm glad I am not alone! I've fancied Hugh Denis for years ever since I saw him put on a German accent in a sketch - very weird I know. Although I read the interview with his ex wife saying he was boring, horses for courses I guess.

Russell Howard is a babe and not a weird crush at all!

travailtotravel · 22/07/2011 22:06

I met Hugh Dennis. He is very nice and seemed quite patient while I was wittering on ...

travailtotravel · 22/07/2011 22:07

PS Its also the voice, I think ...

squeakytoy · 22/07/2011 22:08

I like Andy Parsons Blush

BrokenBananaTantrum · 22/07/2011 22:13

Don't blush squeaky. I want to touch his bald head for some weird reason.

LordOfTheFlies · 22/07/2011 22:15

Hugh Dennis is mine mine mine.
Even waaaayyy before MTW and Outnumbered.
He used to be in The Mary Whitehouse Experience with Steve Punt,Daniel Baddiel and Frank Skinner.

DH and I went to see Punt & Dennis Live. I wanted one of their life sized posters.Dh bought me a Magnum.
A flippin Magnum

He said on TV his wife kept her pregnancy tests when she POAS. So have I (my DCs are 11.6 and 9).

See already we have a connection

Favourite character was 'Milky Milky 'man. Creepy!

So YANBU to think he is quite sexy but YABU to have naughty thoughts.
Step away from the Hugh, OscarLove Grin

COCKadoodledooo · 22/07/2011 22:19

I would. And Marcus. He'd have to get rid of the beard though.

emptyshell · 22/07/2011 22:27

Do I beat Lordoftheflies that I saw both Punt and Dennis AND Baddiel and Newman (not Frank Skinner!) when they were doing their respective tours at the height of the Mary Whitehouse Experience?

DontCallMePeanut · 22/07/2011 22:28

I have a huuuuge crush on Russell Howard Grin He's lovely...

But Hugh... Hmm eh, what now?

MissTFied · 22/07/2011 22:28

YABU, but each to their own.

He lives in a village not far from me. Saw him at a fete once.

Lordoftheflies - Frank Skinner wasn't in The Mary Whitehouse Experience. How could you miss out the only handsome one - Rob Newman?!

tigerdriverII · 22/07/2011 22:29

Is Hugh the boring middleclass rhymes with merchant banker out of Outmumbled, surely the most overrated programme apart from Miraculous or Michael wingeback Mcdonald? YABU
